    Top Three Spring Foods for Weight Loss

    Any man or woman that wants to lose weight but finds it harder than they ever imagined should stop what they are doing and reconsider their weight loss method.

    Losing weight isn't difficult. But it is imperative that you always use common sense. All of the tricks and gimmicks in the world won't cause the weight to shed from your body overnight, but when you change your lifestyle, great things begin to happen. Stop wasting time and money hoping those belts will melt the fat away while you sleep or that the supplement you heard about has some magic potion that melts your weight in an instant.

    Changing your diet is one of the absolute best ways to naturally lose weight. This is the safest way to shed the pounds and you'll gain a number of additional benefits for your health. Here's a good chance you won't need to do a lot extra to melt the pounds off if you're eating right. With spring right around the corner, start preparing now with the addition of the following three foods to your diet. These foods are great for the incoming weather and for ample weight loss.

    Strawberries

    This beautiful berry hits the spot when a sweet tooth strikes but its benefits are far beyond this simple fact. Those that consume strawberries on a regular basis may find weight much easier to shed. Not only do strawberries help perfectly conquer a sweet tooth, they're also loaded with fiber, causing you to feel full. Strawberries contain 3 grams of fiber, plus Vitamin C. A 1000-person study revealed the average strawberry consumer lost an average of 4.5 pounds. While you're at it, go ahead and mash up those strawberries to use for whitening your teeth.

    Coconut

    Coconuts are easy to digest, they are loaded with an essential number of vitamins and minerals, including fiber, and they taste great. Add one to your diet at least once a week. Coconut oil, on the other hand, can easily be incorporated into your diet, whether you are replacing the butter on your toast with the oil or used in a drink. With coconut oil in the diet, fats eat fats, you boost your thyroid and stop spikes in the blood sugar levels, all of which are necessary requirements for losing weight fast.

    Lettuce/ Spinach

    Enjoy them together as a delicious and nutritious salad or cook them and enjoy with other favorites. Leafy greens provide you with essential nutrients and help you feel fuller faster. Replacing one meal with a salad or lettuce or spinach can help you reduce the calorie intake that you consume by as much as 13%! That is a pretty amazing number.

    The Bottom Line

    The three spring foods listed above are only some of many that you can benefit from adding to your diet. Also remember that you'll need to eliminate a lot of those bad-for-you things that you currently consume. Processed foods are often a big no-no and avoiding sugary sweets is always recommended. (How could you ever choose a piece of candy over a delish fruit slice anyway?) Also remember that weight loss doesn't occur overnight. Be patient and give it time if you want to see results. Drink plenty of water and look for other foods (in addition to those above) that help you shed those pounds.
